Who Needs Folgers

We spent the week harvesting, drying and grinding Mesquite Beans. We now have enough coffee and tea to last another year.

Mesquite trees are abundant in Texas and just as the Native Americans and the first settlers did, we do as well.
It does take some getting use to, but it is all natural and has no chemical additives. You can make all kinds of stuff with these. I want to try some Mesquite Muffins one day just to see how it would turn out.

Yup, I could not find the plunger so I was using a mag light to push the beans in the grinder. Don't laugh, It worked.

Chicory root was the drink of choice for my mom and dad, then the old A&P started selling it. I think my gag reflex would kick in if I even sipped your 'coffee' of choice. If it's different in any way, I always up-chuck.

I keep asking Joe why he ruins perfectly good Coke with a shot of whiskey. *here comes the gag reflex*!
